Previously on "Braxton Family Values"...

Can you believe all those men

that Tamar and Toni had at that "Devil's a Lie" party?

We have to find Mommy a man in Atlanta

so she'll stay there.

Aren't you curious to know who the angels are?

Last night I heard my mama talking about these angels,

and plus these angels being in my house, playing with my baby.

I had to hear more about this.

We should go deeper into it. Like who are the angels?

We can do it. I have no problem.

I thought that maybe this angel whisperer,

- he can come and help us-- - No, thank you.

But listen, sit for five minutes,

and if you feel uncomfortable, then you can go.

- That's all I ask. - No.

I absolutely believe

that spiritual readings and meeting with mediums

opens doors to other things to be invited into your life,

and that's not something that I'm willing to participate in.

- See y'all later. - Like, it ain't gotta be like that all the damn time.

- All the time! - Wait a minute, wait a minute.

The bad spirit is already here!

♪ We are the Braxtons and you'll see ♪

♪ That we are not like an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina ♪

♪ Tamar and Miss E will ♪

♪ Teach you a thing or two ♪

♪ On "Braxton Family Values." ♪

Guys, come on, for real.

-What? - I can't-- for real? No, not nobody leaving.

- I didn't call th meeting. - This is ridiculous.

- Mommy-- - Trina left.

Just everybody come back. Just...

All right.

Trina gone.

I just feel like ain't nothing chicken won't fix.

I had to come here and get me a piece of chicken,

you know, like, center,

and just walk back into the room

and remember why I am here.

I'm here to give us all a better understanding

about these angels and why they hang around her

and my baby in my house.

Well, what's the angel boy name?

-His name Tyler. -Tyler?

- - I think he's here now. Do y'all hear that?

-No. - I'm hearing things. I'm ready for today.

- All righty, then. - I'm prepared!

- Ma, sit over here. -Yeah, come on.

Yeah, okay. I'll sit over there.

-Tyler, hi! -Lovely to meet you.

Welcome to our humble abode.

Thank you for having me. I love this.

-Thank you. - This is gorgeous. Wow.

So, here's the girls.

- Oh, hello, everyone. -Hi.

I mean, for me, like, I haven't experienced

the angel thing like my mother have.

Like, you know, I mean, I experience spirits.

I mean, of course, spirit of the Lord,

the spirit of the ice cream, the spirit of the cheeseburgers,

but not no real spirits.

The spirit of the good cocktail, like, right now.

Won't he do it?

The general premise behind what I do--

what I do is that I work as a clairvoyant.

So, I see information.

Basically, since the age of 10,

I've had this gift of being able to basically

interact with people and see information about them.

That's just gonna be able to allow you to, in moving forward,

either get a deeper sense of closure

or just a deeper sense of insight into your personal life.

Okay, well, I can't control what comes through,

but I can control what I deliver.

- Got it. - So, I'm just gonna scribble.

That's basically how I connect,

and we'll see what comes through.

Okay. Let's see...

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. All good.

Thank you.

Oh, okay.

And you, you and you.

Spiritually speaking, I don't believe in all that medium stuff.

I was just there for Mommy.

Well, it's interestingthe way t.

There's a reference to your mom being a big part of this.

And there's a reference to breast cancer.

- And then I feel like-- - That's my daddy's mother.

That's your father's-- okay.

She acknowledges being a big support system.

She's around, she's at peace.

Watches over. I mean, very loving.

There's a reference to the little boy that she's around.

- So, where were we? - Logan.

Okay. She has a very special connection to him

- on a very personal level. - What?

When she comes through, when she's around. Sure, sure.

I would've never thought about my mother-in-law, Mother Eva.

I would've never thought about her.

But she and I was very close,

so it made me feel good.

Okay. That's great.

That's his guardian angel.

I was just surprised and stunned.

First of all, the last person I thought that he would ever mention

would be my grandmother, Grandma Eva.

And it's just crazy that she's around in this house

all the time, which is nuts.

And that's who playing with my baby.

I'm cool with that.

Grandma, play on. Get your life.

How you doing?

There might have even been interactions, like,

where you might see him looking behind someone

and babbling or talking to a wall.

But there's this acknowledgment of like,

"This is me, this is me." And she's watching over him.

And he does quite often do like a...

Mm, I thought he was being shady, you know?

He's not. He ain't looking at us.

He looking at my grandmamma.

Huh. It's amazing.

See, nothing heebie-jeebie-ish at all, right?

- No, you're just what I thought. -Amazing.

Mom, can you let him feel the energy

where you saw the angels around the baby?

I can do that.

They both was coming down the hallway.

And then there was one that was near the wall...

No, you go. Your house.

- It's your house. - It's your house.

No, no.

Towanda was "scurred."

Ta! Come on. Towanda act like she tough.

Towanda was "scur-red."

Can you-- can you feel them?

I-- I definitely get a strong feeling

- of your family on the other side. - Uh-huh.

And definitely a lot of, like, angelic kind of feelings

- coming through. - Yeah.

Skedaddle. What, you gotta pee? Go.

Go with the Lord, girl.

Go ye, therefore, and teach our people.

- You're wonderful, you know that? -Thank you so much.

- I really respect and love you. - I appreciate it. Thank you.

I think the young man was accurate in some points.

I think he's good in what he's doing.

Ty gotta go, y'all. He's booked.

- All righty, then. We're gonna see you out. - So funny. Thank you, guys.

- Bye. -Trina should've stayed.

But I have to respect her. I gotta respect--

-Anybody wanna apologize to me? -No.

Well, after, you know, he told us who the angels was

that was kicking it and playing with my baby,

I feel, you know, more comfortable.

Like, my grandmother-- safe person.

I'm here for that.

Oh, tripped me up about Grandma Eva

because she had breast cancer and then it--

-It did. - I did? I never knew that.

Because she would never get a mastectomy.

I feel Trina missed out on something that she can get comfort in

and, you know, an experience that us girls

will always treasure forever.

- Well, I thought it was great. - You're welcome.

Well, yeah. I'm gonna tell you how I'm gonna thank you.

You're gonna pay for our dinner 'cause I'm ready to eat.

Well, I ain't gonna pay for it. I made it.

No, you gonna-- I don't want your homemade food.

- I don't want that. - I done made some of Mommy's

- mother God's sick biscuits. - Uh-huh, uh-huh.

I don't want that.

I want real food from a restaurant.

Hey, Chef, how's it going?

How'd we dlast night?

- What did we sell most of? - We sold a lot of oxtails.

Okay, cool.

Hey, Wham!

I haven't seen Towanda since I left Tamar's

after our disagreement over the medium.

I want to talk about it, but I have

a very pressing matter that's happened since then,

and I really want to discuss it with Towanda first.

Okay, so, let me tell you what happened to me.

What happened?

- Before opening... - Mm-hmm.

...a customer comes in

and he was like, "Yeah, I'm Trina's cousin.

She's expecting me."

He sat at the bar and plugged in his phone and was charging his phone

and he was in there talking about how he was waiting for me

and can somebody call me and...

Why didn't somebody call the police?

Well, because they're still trying to figure out if this dude is my cousin.

And so I had Kiki take a picture of him.

She took a picture of him. I said, "He's not our family. We don't know him."

And Kiki's telling him, "Look, I'm sorry,

but you have to leave."

So nobody called the police yet?

She's finishing telling me the story,

and I'm like, "Why didn't anybody call the police?"

I'm not understanding how no one called 911

if there's a stalker.

- So he finally left. - Mm-hmm.

And as soon as we opened, he came right back.

And sat there for hours.

Start talking about am I gonna be here,

am I gonna come in tomorrow?

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

He finally came out with the truth,

- because he told so many lies. - What was the truth?

He's trying to work with his music career.

Let me tell you something, I'm not a producer.

I can't help you.

That potential stalking moment was scary,

'cause I'm like, what is this person here to do?

Why are they there, and why are they waiting for me?

It's one of those moments just like, "Wait..."

So that made me really feel like

I need to do something to protect myself.

I think I need to have my own firearm.

So I can protect myself. You never know who's gonna

follow me home or anything like that.

Trina, you're in a gated community.

I understand that, but you just never know

what might happen between here and there.

I don't know about you, Trina, having no gun.

Why-- why you try to make it like

I am unable to do certain things?

I'm-- I'm a grown woman, Towanda.

I don't need other people

to put restrictions and limitations on me.

- That is not about a restriction. - Yes, it is.

- That's about safety. Safety first. - Exactl

I love the confidence in Trina,

but I'm not confident in Trina having a gun.

I'm just not.

- I can do a lot of things. - Yes, you can. Yes, you can.

- But you can't do that. - Yes, I can.

It angers me and it frustrates me

because I can never really talk to my sisters about things sometimes

because it always turns into,

"Well, why don't you do this? Because you can't do this.

You can't drive. You can't cook.

You can't, you know, not put wings on your menu."

It's like there's always something.

I'm not gonna just go into it and not take a class

- or go to a range. - I wanna see this. I wanna see it.

I don't need your approval.

I don't need you to see if I'm ready for it or something like that.

- I hate when you guys try to treat me... - What are you talking about?

...like I'm some child, like I'm incapable of doing things on my own and by myself.

What are you talking about?

Trina has been getting into

a lot of heated debates recently,

and I'm not sure where this is stemming from, you know?

No.

No way.

Hello?! You know what?

I can do anything I set my mind to do.

I'm not 12. I'm going to do what I need to do

and no one's gonna stop me.

No, Trina.

Today I'm giving a speech

for the National Kidney Foundation event

about their charity.

Knowing that my mom two sisters suffered from kidney disease,

it's like, okay, I'm giving right back

to my mom's sisters, to my family.

So how are you feeling, little girl?

-Um, just a little nervous. - Uh-huh.

- But I know I have it. - You got this.

I know I have it. I know I got this.

But there' no teleprompters.

So, everybody know if I "ab lib,"

- just bear with me. - Yeah.

'Cause I know not what I sayeth or doeth.

When you have to really sit up

and speak and talk and be an MC,

you really have to be precise

and try to be yourself, but be funny, but not funny,

but, you know, all at the same time.

I'm really concerned

because I don't want to embarrass myself.

Knowing that a lot of people that end up being on dialysis

and things like that and looking for a kidney

in our families, even friends,

I need to be aware of what's going on with my body.

So, you know, I didn't wear orange

- even though they wanted me to wear orange. - Okay.

But since I'm going through,

you know, that female thing,

sometimes it unexpectedly--

- Things happen. - Right.

And I like wearing black 'cause you can't see...

You can't see anything.

...what's going on, you know, with me

and my inside parts of my body.

I'm having a hysterectomy in a few days

to solve some women issues.

I cannot wait until this hysterectomy is over with, you know,

'cause I'm really concerned.

I might have an accident tonight on the stage.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Your husband penis don't get up in there.

- I... - It ain't that long.

You should come over as soon as possible.

- It's very important. -I'm on my way. I'll be there in two minutes.

I've just received the most devastating news,

like, in my whole career.

What's wrong?

And I like wearing black 'cause you can't see...

You can't see anything.

...what's going on, you know, with me

and my inside parts ofy bo.

You know you have this condition,

but it's going to be cleared up in a few days.

But you know what, I-I-- knowing-- knowing that,

don't you know how sometimes it goes in your mind?

It's like, ooh, I'm not even gonna be a real woman anymore.

But I had Kevin, so, you know?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, now.

See, now, I have to straighten you out on that.

Please do.

Just because you have, what, hysterectomy--

has nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not.

You are a woman.

Your uterus is just for the baby to grow in it.

Your husband penis don't get up in there.

- I... - It ain't that long.

Okay, Mommy, yeah, you right.

No, Mommy, you not right at all.

It's not...

I...

Same thing with me. I had to get rid of the uterus.

Am I a woman?

Huh, absolutely.

I'm still kinda skeptical of it, you know?

Like, wow, will I have the same emotions?

Will I be saddened all the time?

Will I be the same woman?

Will I have a mustache like Aunt Bunny?

Will I have hair coming out my face?

Do you know what I'm saying? Or-- it's almost like

I'm wondering what would happen with me

and my body after this happens.

Well, all right, y'all. It's showtime.

-It's showtime! - Let's go.

Of course I need the script!

How you gonna ask me some old bogus question like that?

Yes, I practiced, I practiced,

and I read out loud and everything else,

but everybody know Traci.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Traci Braxton.

- -My legs shaking.

I can't do-- what did I get myself into?

What a great-looking crowd we have today.

All right.

Sorry, y'all.

I'm looking at the script

and I'm like, holy crap water.

Because it's like, here we go.

What will come out of Traci's mouth?

"I am thrilled to be with you on this evening

and to support the National Kidney Fund."

Fund--

The foundation, the Kidney Foundation.

I'm so sorry, y'all. I'm so nervous still.

Okay.

I can't read this (bleep) damn paper.

I mean, what is going on here?

Everything is jumbled up.

Let's just crash and burn this thing

right on out the box.

"Without being-- without it being you,

there is not-- oh-- there is no event.

We want to give special "recognization"

to our angels and venue host"...

I know it's not easy just getting the script,

but, Traci, you got this.

..."and helping us to lead that movement

in the national level

is the National Kidney Foundation C.E.O.,

Mr. Kevin...

Longino"?

I'ma get this.

I'm just gonna relax and be Traci.

Not too much of her, but I'm gonna be Traci.

"Every one of us seen someone

or knows someone that's fighting kidney disease.

An alarming 90% of them

don't even know that they have this disease at all."

I mean, wow.

At the end of the night,

I had a blast, you know?

I just needed to let go to be true to myself,

so I enjoyed it.

"Thank you to everyone here tonight

for your generosity."

Oh! It's-- what's that in the chair?

Trina, you're not the best driver.

Talk. Talk and say that-- you have no room to talk.

Just put it in "drive." Just drive.

I don't see where "drive" is.

What?! Should I drive?

No, but I'm just saying you don't see it on the-- you don't see it.

See that light? See right there, "park"?

Oh, there we go.

Toni's coming into town to check on Mommy,

so I'm picking her up at the hotel.

And I'm glad that she and Tamar are choosing to come and visit

instead of insisting that Mommy go to LA.

Wait. Is the parking brake on?

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. - Where is it?

Oh, my God!

Trina's a horrible driver. Ask anyone.

She's hit our house a couple times when we were younger.

When she had driving lessons, she literally hit the house.

I never let Trina drive.

I just happened to let her drive that day,

but it was a poor choice.

Is this the geriatrics' lane?

You're a geriatric lane. Let me tell you why,

- because, guess what. - Is this the geriatric--

you are doing 40 in a 65.

Slow and steady wins the race. And I'm surprised you can actually see...

What was that, what was that, what was that?

A train, Toni. It's the train.

Wait, wait, hold up.

Towanda told me, okay,

that Trina says she wants a gun.

I'm Trina.

- You want a gun? - A firearm. Yes, I do.

I do.

I would prefer no one had a gun.

I think it's-- I have mixed feelings on it.

Maybe she can get a Taser

as opposed to a gun or something.

Why do you want a gun?

- Well, because-- - It's so dangerous.

It is dangerous.

It really bothers me that my sisters all think

that I can't handle a firearm.

I not only know I can do this,

but I had a potential stalker

threatening my business and my life,

so I can't just sit around and do nothing.

I hate everything about guns.

Toni, I promise, I promise,

even holding it, it's just a lot.

It's a lot. It's a lot of responsibility.

Trina, okay, I have to be honest, you're scaring me a little bit.

Toni, I'm staying in my lane. Why you acting so scary?

I can't be in the car with you, Trina.

I gotta get out the car!

You know what? I'm gonna give you 10 seconds

to start saying some positive stuff about me.

I can't cook, I can't drive.

What can I do, Toni Braxton?

I am so tired of my sisters telling me what I can't do

and what I'm incapable of.

They're working on my last nerves,

and I am going to show them.

Thank you, Jesus! We got here safe.

We've parked safe.

Just get out the car.

All right, I'm going.

- Mama, we're here. - Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mwah!

- Yeah, I'm glad you-- - Well, come on, sudden lunch.

- It smells good. - Mwah!

- You look pretty. - Yeah.

- Where you going? -Right?

You know.

You got on red lipstick, you got a feather in your hair.

Yeah. I have a date.

- You have a date? - Yes.

- Yay, Mommy. Good for you. - Yes, I do.

I'm going out to dinner.

Wait a minute, you serious? You really got a date?

Girl, yeah.

You don't think I'ma look this good for nothing.

- Well, who is this man? - His name is Rick.

And he's a nice guy. Seem like he could be--

- Ricky or Rick? - Rick.

Where you meet him at?

You know, Towanda, Trina and Traci set that up.

Mm-hmm.

My sisters and them acting foolish, but really?

I'm not here to take my mother away from her life.

I'm here to enhance her life.

And I don't care where you find glory.

Long as you find him. Won't he do it? "Hallelu."

How about we practice? Can we practice just a little bit?

- Yeah, let's practice a little bit. - Okay, go ahead.

Evelyn, what is it that you like to do?

I love jazz. I love listening to jazz.

- Oh, okay-- - So who's your favorite jazz artist?

- I don't know their names. - Oh, God.

Say Miles Davis. That's general.

Oh, God. So what else do you like to do?

What's your favorite place? Do you have a favorite destination?

Um, not really.

-You like Hawaii. - I don't like Hawaii.

- But lie, lie. - But I don't want to lie.

No! Trust me.

Ooh, God--

Why you so irritated?

He either have to accept me for who I am

or get to stepping.

- Yeah. - You know? And if it happen, it happens.

If not, okay. Next!

So you guys enjoy yourself, but I'm outta here.

- It's time for your date already? - Yes, it's time for her date.

- Bye. See ya later. - 'Kay, bye. Wait, hold on. I'll walk you down.

- How about that? - Come on, Toni, let's walk her down.

- We are not gonna walk Mommy down. - Yes, we is.

All right.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

- We had forgot you was coming here. - Tamar kidnapped me.

- Mommy, Tamar kidnapped me and made me do this. - Toni. Toni.

Vince just got off the phone

with the production company at "The Real"

and they said that I was basically fired.

It's Fogo de Chao. Did you know that?

- We've been saying it wrong for years. - Welcome to Fogo de Chao.

- De Chao. - For years we've been saying it wrong.

- This is a Brazilian steakhouse. - We've been calling it "Chow."

Tamar goes from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds.

It's like, "We gotta see. Let's go see the guy. Can we do this?"

And, of course, she dr-- just drawed-- drew me in...

And I really didn't want to do it, but Tamar made me do it,

which sounds like a terrible excuse,

'cause I'm the oldest, okay?

I'm the oldest. I'm in charge always.

But I'm following Tamar. Here we go.

Thank you.

I'm pleasantly surprised that you-- that we are having dinner.

Oh, that's so sweet. - Thank you so much. - Me, too.

See, I think-- I don't think we should do this.

- I think Mommy gonna get upset. - Toni, listen.

Mommy needs our help. She doesn't know how much--

I don't know. You always cut-- bringing me in.

Toni, don't be scared. Listen, you need to have Mom back, okay?

- I don't know. - Toni, listen!

Oh, (bleeps).

I think he saw me.

Tamar, that's too obvious.

It was important to spy on my mama

because we don't know Mr. Rick.

Now, Rick is Anglo, and I'm here for her.

Doesn't make me no difference,

but I feel like I need to get to know him a little bit better

because, you know, I don't know him like that

to be hanging out with my mama.

So I gotta find out a couple things,

like his driver's license number,

his Social Security number,

his credit score and stuff like that.

The girls? Oh, God.

Hey! Hi!

Well, come on, now. It's your fault.

What happened is that we wanted a little steak.

-Oh, my God. -Hey.

- Well, oh, my God. Look at God! -Oh, goodness.

My mom saw us.

And we were known then. We were exposed.

So we just decided, you know, just to walk over there and say hi.

It's looking a little planned. I get it.

Toni and I was eating here.

We had forgot you was coming here.

- Tamar kidnapped me. -Cheers.

- Mommy, Tamar kidnapped me and made me do this. - Toni. Toni.

Toni is the Pet Detective just like me, okay?

And she just don't wanna take the rap for it.

She'd rather put me in the forefront,

which I'm fine with 'cause I could care less.

How's it going?

It's good. How are you doing?

You know, God is good. He's able.

Are you saved?

- Oh, Lord. So-- - Am I saved? Yes.

- Oh! He's saved! - And I'm a northerner, too.

Did she tell you she was a pastor back in the day?

- Yeah, she did. - Look at God. He's saved.

She did.

I really feel uncomfortable

with my daughters crashing my date.

I was trying to get to know the man, for God's sakes.

So, yeah. So, yeah, Tamar, let's go.

We gotta check on Logan.

Logan asleep, girl. I ain't got nothing to do.

Look, if this doesn't work out with her and Mr. Rick,

there's a hundred more guys here from the "Devil is a Lie" party

she can choose from.

We gonna go. We'll let them have dessert, Tay.

- We just came to say hi. - I'm a little--

- We just came to say hi. - I'm still a little snacky.

- I want key lime. - We gonna get one and get it to go.

- Thank you, Toni. - Nice to meet you.

- It was really wonderful talking to you. - Okay, Tay, come on, let's go.

- Come on, let's go. - See ya.

- Now. - Oh.

It was good to see you.

- Get up. - All right.

- All right, see you later. - All righty, then. See you.

- I told you Mom was gonna be upset. - Thank you.

Yeah, she upset 'cause you turned on me.

Who would have figured?

- I shouldn't have listened to you. - I'm gonna fight you on this.

Having a potential stalker is really scary.

And, first, someone shows up at my job,

so you just never know what someone could do next.

So today I'm going to a simulated tactical training facility

to see how to shoot and respond in a real-life setting.

And, to be honest, I'm sort of scared,

but I wanna take this next step of training

because my life could be threatened.

And I still want to be able to buy a gun

despite what my sisters, the "can't brigade," might think.

Our goal today is to get you very familiar with firearms.

We're gonna treat it as a real weapon.

That way, we'll always want to consider safety

and the proper procedures.

Both Toni and Towanda told me that I should not get a gun,

but I'm still going ahead,

and I even invited Towanda and Traci to come here

so they can see that I can really do this.

- Hey! - Hey.

- Hey. - Hey...

- Yeah. - What are y'all wearing?

- "Charlie's Angels." -That's not "Charlie's Angels," y'all.

Especially you, Towanda.

- What do you have on? - What you mean, "especially"?

They look ridiculous.

They have on spandex and heels and all that kind of stuff.

You look like street-walkers

more than you do tactical training-- I'm just saying.

I'm not saying you're a street-walker,

I'm just saying you look like one.

- Is this tactical wear? -Um.

Trina is wearing combat boots. Really?

And a net shirt. You have camouflage?

Not Trina, not "pretty in pink." Really?

Come on, y'all. Let's get started.

The way we do our laser tag

is head shots only.

Three shots is a kill.

You're gonna hear, "Uh, uh,"

and then it'll say, "Medic, man down."

And you guys are gonna flash. That's how you know you're dead.

Normally in laser tag, you have them on your chest

and on your back.

This one, you put it on your head.

All head shots.

I'm liking this already

because I get to shoot the (bleep) outta somebody.

Can I say that?

It's gonna be two on one.

So me and Traci against Trina?

-That's right. -Oh, gosh.

Two on one. That's right.

I am here today to prove to Trina

that she is absolutely not ready to own a gun.

And if she can win this tactical training laser tag

against me and Traci, then maybe I'll change my mind.

But there is no way she's gonna beat me or Traci. Nope.

All right, guys, game on!

Male voice: Medic, man down!

I came out "Blazing Saddles" ready,

and I'm just "pewn-pewning" them all over the place.

Listen, we need to walk together.

So if she gets one, one of us will be able to get her.

'Cause she can't get both of us.

Here she comes. Around the corner!

Around the corner, around the corner!

Hey!

No double-teaming. That's not fair!

There you go!

I can't get past two inches

without them bombarding me and shooting me

and making me die over and over and over again,

and it's really disgruntling.

- - Bam!

-What's that sound? -That it's over.

That we won.

We won.

Even though you did good today,

for real, you have to have security.

- You need someone there to help you. - Mm-hmm, yes.

Because I don't feel as though that you're that comfortable yet.

Because if that situation come,

I do believe you're going to freeze up.

I still feel very adamant about protecting myself.

Well, why can't your security person just walk you to the car?

They can have the gun, and they can walk you to the car.

Okay, but what if someone follows me home?

- Call the police. - Police.

I don't care that my sisters won this game.

I held my own against the two of them.

And I'm still learning.

I'm not going to get a firearm right away.

But I do-- I want to keep practicing

so I can eventually buy one. Hello!

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

I said the same thing and you looked at me like I was crazy still.

What? You wasn't scared to touch one, Traci.

Traci's never scared to touch anything.

I could punch you right in your face right now.

Let's go get a cocktail.

Well, I'm scared to touch my wallet

so I can pay for your cocktail.

How about that?

I knew that. But I already knew that.

Just one. Thank you.

Yeah, it's like-- see, these, they just didn't work that well.

- And the concept... - This is nice, Trin.

It is. Trina is over there handling her beeswax.

-Oh, look at this. - After this week. Right.

- Well, hi. - Hey.

- Hey, little babies. -Hi, Trin.

Ooh, don't grab me hard. Hi, Trin-Trin.

- Come on, cleavage. -Hey.

Well, yeah. I didn't want to wear a bustier, so.

So Toni and I are in Atlanta,

and we decided to go to Trina's restaurant Bar Chix.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta.

I'm not just saying that because of Trina.

I'm just saying that 'cause they have the tails of the ox and I'm here for it.

You know about your mama going out on a date?

We went to the restaurant. We snuck in with Mommy.

Tamar said, "We should just go. Let's go and see."

Yeah, 'cause we don't know that man. I don't know that man...

Tamar was paranoid. "He could be crazy.

He could be a cuckoo person. We just gotta watch her."

We don't know him. I ain't never met him.

That's not cool. She's grown.

It was actually very cool.

And it was, guess what, very necessary.

- No, it wasn't. - Okay.

- Tell me why it was necessary. - I was uncomfortable.

'Cause-- 'cause we don't know that man.

I can't believe Toni and Tamar

spied on Mommy's date with Rick.

Now, he was one of my choices,

so I think that they just wanted to crash it

and get in the way in the first place

because they know he's a winner.

- I was uncomfortable. - And plus no one told us about some speed dating.

- No one mentioned that to us. - Y'all didn't tell me and Tamar about this speed dating.

- We know nothing. - Thank you very much.

So from what I know, that man came from

- "MatchMe. - Somebody."

Why is it okay for Mommy to meet a bunch of random men

at the "Devil is a Lie" party that Toni and Tamar threw,

but it's not okay with them that I had a matchmaker find

a viable option for Mommy?

This is just so biased and not okay.

Yeah, we really didn't know about the speed dating.

Okay, I have to honest about something.

- What? - It was a little selfish,

but that's because Tamar was trying to get Mommy to move to California.

What are you talking about? Move to California?

- Yes. - Trina, you've been on vacation all year 'round.

Somebody has to watch Mommy.

She's on vacation-- I mean she's on medication.

What?

"Tamar wanted Mommy to move to L.A." I don't know how you get that.

'Cause when we were having brunch at my house,

that's what happened, that's right.

Guys, remember me?

- Okay, Toni, what? - I'm here.

- Tay, why you upset? - I'm not. I'm just looking on Instagram.

Well, turn your phone off. I was trying to taste food.

I was trying to taste my-- what's that?

That's the oxtail?

And the truffle mac and cheese.

-Okay, what's this? - That's a grit cake.

Okay, I'm gonna taste it.

Here we are.

I'm goin' in.

And now I'm gonna taste it.

I love you, Trina.

Bar Chix is amazing.

Doesn't food make everything feel better?

- It's delicious. - Food makes you fat.

You know what? It's just time to let this conversation go,

and I don't want to get into it right now with Tamar.

But we have to revisit this later

because we need to resolve things.

This is not okay.

Mm. Mm.

That's delicious, as always.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

They said that...

I was basically fired.

I am...

stunned.

I think I drank too much.

What? Where?

Let me see which one it is.

I mean, if you had too much, why are you still drinking?

Don't continue to drink if you feel like you-- if you drank too much.

- A little bit. - Don't-- no.

What, you gonna pick up something-- what you--?

What'd you tell her?

Y'all know I'm a lightweight.

You're an easy date.

A real one. It shouldn't be hard getting you a man, then.

Yeah, Two Sips.

- I'm not listening. - That's your new name, Two Sips.

- I'm not listening to y'all. - Drawls and Sip.

- Sip and Drawls. -What?

What Sip and-- what's Sip and Drawls?

- Sip and Dra-- sip... - That's terrible.

...drawls.

You know what? That ain't even funny.

- That's not even funny. - Good night.

-Hello? - Hey, T, how you doing?

Hey, V, what y'all doing?

I'm sorry to bother you. Can you come over?

Tamar really, really needs you

and needs to talk to you about something.

What is-- everything okay? What's going on?

Uh...

I'm gonna let her tell you.

I just think you should come over as soon as possible.

It's very important.

I'm on my way. I'll be there in two minutes.

Hey, Tay.

What's wrong?

Hey. Mwah.

Where the baby?

- Logan's okay? - He's fine.

Uh...

Okay.

Um, so, like...

I've just received the most devastating news, like, in my whole career.

About a half hour ago, I go downstairs

because, you know, we're getting ready to leave...

Okay.

...and Vince is like, "I need to talk to you for a second."

And I was like, "You know, what's up?"

He just got off the phone with the production company

at "The Real" and they said that...

I was basically fired.

What?

What-- why? What'd they say?

I don't know. Um, Vince told me that she told him

that I didn't get along with the castmates.

- And... - The girls on the show?

- They were just here! - Apparently, I don't get along with them.

Gotta be more to it.

I really, really, really love my position

at "The Real," you know?

It was really more about me being myself

and, you know, expressing my life's stories

and what I've been thrgh in life, you know,

with, you know, a bunch of ladies who I loved

and really, truly, genuinely respected.

Toni, I think I'm more stunned than you are.

I'm like-- I didn't-- so, people are telling me

that I don't get along with my friends.

Or are they my friends?

I don't know.

I don't know.

And I don't get along with production and I don't--

like, I don't-- I am...

stunned.

Mm.

I'm sorry, Tay.

I know that-- I'm sorry.

I got my purse all here.

I'm sorry.

I know you're in shock 'cause I'm still in shock.

I'm sorry, Tay. I'm so sorry.

I loved you on the show.

I just don't know what I did wrong.

We haven't even been shooting.

We've been finished shooting for about a month.

Well, you got to be strong for me.

I know you-- I know you, and I know you're upset.

I know. I know.

I'm so sorry, Tay.

There, baby.

I'm sorry.

I'm so humiliated, Toni. I don't know what to do.

Like, I know everybody's gonna think something that I did,

or, "She's this way," or, "She's got a big mouth,"

or, I don't-- I don't know.

It's just not right. I just-- I don't understand.

I could probably understand more if I'd known that I did something,

but I don't know what I did.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Everything just feels like a loss for me.

You know, like, this whole year sucked ass.

I don't understand. I could probably understand more

if I'd known that I did something,

but I don't know what I did, you know?

I just-- everything just feels like a loss for me, you know?

Like, this whole year sucked ass.

You know? Like, everything that I love

just, like, get, like, pulled from under you.

I just feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me

from everything that I love and everything that I do.

Like, I mean I spent the whole year on my album

and then I can't promote my album

and then the album comes out and it doesn't do great

'cause I can't promote my record

and then on top of that, then I get a tour

and then on top of getting a tour I have to cancel my tour,

and then I'm doing "Dancing With the Stars"

and then I have to stop doing "Dancing With the Stars"

because I get sick

and then this?

Really?

I feel disrespected, I feel let down,

I feel disregarded,

because it's never been a conversation.

There hasn't been a conversation about--

"Okay, we don't like the way things are going."

I mean, I guess I'm okay with change...

but can we respect each other in the change?

Can I get that?

There's always more.

There's always more.

I promise, there's always more.

I know it's hard to see. That's okay.

Today, we gonna be sad all day today.

Tomorrow, we gonna eat and be sad.

Then the next day, we gonna dust ourselves off,

we're gonna try again, we're gonna succeed again,

and this will pass.

You are talented, you are beautiful.

You're nominated for Grammys, Emmys. It doesn't stop.

This is just the beginning. This is just the beginning of it all,

I promise you. You'll see.

We're gonna be laughing about this next year, this time.

We're gonna be like, "Aha. Whoo-hoo."

- That's what they get. - Toni, nothing is funny, and then you know what else?

No, you gonna laugh that you survived it,

that's what I'm talking about.

You're gonna be proud of yourself,

and shake your-- give yourself a hug

and say, "I survived that. I'm a dope chick.

But it's okay to be sad.

How do you deal--

how do you deal with the public humiliation?

You do.

Think about my bankruptcy.

Everybody thought I spent my money,

they talked about me, said, "You ain't this."

They thought I was this terrible, terrible artist.

But look where I am today? And it was tough.

But you have to know that it's gonna get better.

I just feel like now is this time to show myself

anremind myself of who I really am, you know?

I am Tamar Braxton.

I'm human.

I have feelings.

From my experience with God is that, you know,

sometimes He really wants you to jump

and leap,

and then when you don't, you get that push.

And so that's how I gotta look at it.

I'm being pushed into my destiny.

I'm telling you, first thing Monday morning,

I am packing my tears away.

Good-bye.

Don't think just because you don't want me, nobody else nt me.

This is like the boyfriend that broke up with you

acting like, "I'm gonna break up with her.

She gonna be by herself. She gonna be an old maid."

Lies.

Don't think everybody didn't call me.

'Cause they did, mm-kay?

And one of them calls I took.

Hallelujah. Mm-kay?

This coin don't stop.

Can't stop my blessing, okay?

My name is written in the book.

We're Braxtons. This is gonna pass.
